by Rachel Williams, https://www.facebook.com/rachelwilliamsdailyrecord/ · Daily RecordWith a chill in the air, it's definitely that time of year where fashion fans need to look for wardrobe items that are both warm and cosy.
This is where a jersey-style dress will come in handy, with one from Roman proving a major hit for the season. The firm's Patchwork Cowl Neck Button Detail Dress has shoppers saying it offers them "everything" they "look for".
Retailing at £38, this frock has earned glowing praise for its stretch jersey material that is "very flattering" on your figure. Described as "the perfect addition to your autumn wardrobe", it can be bought in sizes 10 through to 20.
The button detailing on the waist has also been singled out by customers who say it provides a "slimming" effect. There's also the addition of handy side pockets that you often don't see any many women's dresses.
It's completed with a cowl neckline and long sleeves, making it "cosy" and "warm" for the colder season. The neutral multicoloured stripe pattern will go with anything in your wardrobe such as thick tights, chunky boots and an easy-to-wear coatigan.
With cosy season upon us, it's not a surprise that the Patchwork Cowl Neck Button Detail Dress has earned a 4.8 rating from shoppers who have hailed it as a "brilliant buy" and "suitable for all seasons".
